Teams & Divisions
Players are organized into teams and divisions by age and ability if needed.
Each age division, Tyke, Novice etc. are composed of players within one birth year of each other.

Last year we had 28 teams in 8 divisions for over 410 players.

Tyke, Novice and Atom divisions are 3-minute buzzer line changes and no body checking.
Peewee, Bantam and Midget divisions are change on the fly and body checking is allowed.
For Tyke & Novice, the maximum team size is 15 with the players taking turns playing goal.

Practice
The house league teams do not practice as teams during the season.
For Tyke division players we will have scheduled in-door ice practices all season long where the new to hockey kids can work on their skating and hockey skills.

For Novice and older divisions we will have age group based skills practice sessions outdoors at the Sir Adam Beck ice pad when weather permits on Sunday evenings. There will also be some pre-season skates for the younger players, details at registration.
